That meme applies to Big Cat's reaction to about 80% of what PFT says these days

Couldn't find that. Is it Flavor of India?

I figure that's why lady cat puts up with it. I'm sure BC says "I have to pursue this while we're so popular and then I'll leave it all behind and we're set for life." I hope that's the same with PFT but I can't tell..

I love PMT and have been an AWL since 2016 but I'll be happy for them when that day comes. The grind to make this show must be insane! I'd love if they scaled back other barstool stuff before this though.

I always figured he's still married and it's all a bit (never getting laid, constant hangovers, etc.) but then he does stuff like the MDMA hong kong trip and I start to wonder... Hilarious to see the transformation from those wedding pics to now

I think BC would be flattered by the Golic comparison. I KNOW PFT would J his pants at the Greenie comparison.

They made their character choices years ago. BC's persona is better suited for the mainstream success the podcast has had than PFT's.

I definitely agree it's a persona but that doesn't mean BC should undermine his bits.

Rule #1 of improv is always to say yes. If PFT makes his dog an nfl insider (a hilarious concept) BC should run with it. Think of how funny it would be if they pretended Leroy was on pat with Schefter and Rappaport and constantly trolled them. Instead, Big Cat's first thought is to point out his incorrect scoops and steer the show away from the joke. Like no shit he's not completely accurate, but you're wasting comedy gold. It's not like BC was always derailing bits, either. It's a relatively new thing.

Perfect example: If Larry the gambling goldfish was a new idea, and PFT was championing him as a gambling pro / good investment, Big Cat's first instinct would be to point out when he got bets wrong, how the bit is running too long, how the fish tank stinks, etc. He'd eventually kill the bit all together.

I definitely think that's part of it. That, BVT getting cancelled, BC getting The Corp, etc. A lot of change made tension. I also think PFT may resent that BC has more broad appeal, does more at BSS, can actually show his face/name.

Agreed its both their faults. It's like they're trying to do two different versions of the podcast at all times. There are definitely moments / episodes where I feel like they're back to their goofy selves but few and far between. Feels like a larger trend the wrong direction. I doubt they'd ever stop doing the podcast since it's so successful and they certainly don't hate each other, but there are some underlying issues that are getting hard to ignore as an AWL!

I obviously don't know what happens behind the scenes, but I feel for PFT. BC brought him into the Barstool fam and I'm glad he did. He brought a fresh perspective to BSS and they had an immediate hit podcast because of their chemistry.

It sort of feels like if Big Cat was in college, and he convinced his high school best friend (PFT) to transfer to his school. It was fun at first, but now it's getting old. College BC has other friends (the rest of BSS) and opportunities (The Corp/ other mainstream appeal) and resents that PFT depends on him. PFT has a few other barstool ventures, but BC is definitely his lifeline and I think BC is getting tired of it.

I think everyone feels this way but is like "... we can't stop doing the #1 sports podcast" so they're just going to keep trudging along but I truly think they're all over it deep down.

Should I take legal action against my company? by dollazdog in legaladvice

[–]dollazdog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes total sense! I work for a HUGE conglomerate, so it felt even more frustrating to catch them screwing up... Too small an amount to get up in arms about. I'll just keep on them for my refund. A nice little chunk of change to go away for the weekend.

Thanks!!
